Spent today in Gorges de Ardeche. Fab drive and scenery, hired a kyat and rowed 8 km down river and through Pont d'arc. Pictures are a problem though as the camera went overboard through some rapids never to be seen again, with quite a few pictures on the memory card that were not downloaded to the computer including one of Nigel eating a Candly floss twice the size of his head! The motorway drive to Lyon was a nightmare...so much traffic. Got to Lyon at 9.30pm. Fortunately have 2 nights here to chill before the final leg one more stop on Epernay on Monday.

On the ferry coming back home. Ran over a motor bikers foot in slow traffic, his fault trying to filter through and he put his foot down in front of my rear wheel.

Just completed the Langres to Calais leg in some heaviest thunderstorms & flooded motorways I've ever driven through/on. Knackered now so final leg home tomorrow morning

Now in a posh hotel in Epernay (at last Linda says!) and had a few glasses of Mercier after doing their cellar tour. Looking forward to a few more when out for a meal tonight. Final leg home tomorrow. (And it's raining here too!)

Home....3 weeks, 2000-3000 miles (who knows the speedo wasn't working for half of it!!!)  3 hard days on track and the VX is going better than when it left. Not bad for a stage 4 with near 80K on the clock eh!!!
